Today’s Hotel Etiquette

For Business Travelers

1. Don’t answer the door if you’re not dressed.

2. Don’t ask probing questions about the housekeeper’s personal or financial situation.

3. Don’t ask the housekeeper for help with the pay-per-view porn channels.

4. Skedaddle when the housekeeper arrives. Or if you can’t, ask her to come back later.

5. Don’t give the housekeeper a $100 tip.

For Housekeepers

1. Carry a panic button in your pocket. If that’s not an option, consider carrying mace.

2. If possible, pair up, and clean rooms in tandem.

3. Report any and all unwanted sexual overtures to management, and your union representative if you have one.

4. Prop the door open while you clean.

5. Don’t be afraid to yell for help.
